What do Measured and Estimated mean in PinFlag?
Measured means the number is built from your own recorded data: imported carries, logged shots, a pin you placed. Estimated means a benchmark pattern is standing in until your data exists. The label sits on the number itself, the two are never blended, and importing a session or logging rounds moves numbers from Estimated to Measured on their own.
